Hmmmm? Well, I guess Mr. Azzopardi hasn't read the reviews of each of the stops thus far on La Ross mini-tour. Furthermore, he obviously hasnt been in one of the smaller venues with The Lady…letting her show him just why she DOESNT NEED to sell-out arenas, nor have some Cirque du Soleil backdrop to distract from her lack of vocals. Her instrument is still well-intact. Just as she has, the voice has aged gracefully and Diana has never pretended to be anyone,Aeos Patti, Aretha, Whitney, nor Mariah. And why is that? Because shes THE DIVA quite effortlessly. Whereas any of the aforementioned ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGES the same. Lastly, I,Aeoll take Diana Ross syrup these days over the Don Imuses, the sacrifice of our lovely young soldiers in Iraq, a government who could care less about its citizens in New Orleans ANY DAY! Perhaps the world could use a bit o honey…? And Mama Ross serves it up EXPERTLY! Take in the show…Miss Azzopardi!
